Flight to Australia at 20 Weeks

I am planning to fly back to Australia at 20 weeks. I will only be at home for 7.5 days so admittedly A short visit for a 50 hours total flying.

My family in the last few days have all decided that flying long haul when I am pregnant is crazy. My sil did a fair bit of travel (more short haul, less than 10 hours) when she was pregnant & she is convinced that this contributed to her difficult birth.

Can anyone tell me their experiences. Particularly long haul flights. I know it won't be pleasant, but I do these flights twice a year so its not totally foreign to me & so I know I can cope with it. Just don't want to do anything that might put stress on the bub.

Help appreciated.

I flew long distance at 30 weeks and was fine. I walked about a bit and kept wriggling my toes.
